Is 99459 billable with an E/M code in an outpatient facility department place of service 19? Or is this only billable in non-facility settings? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

No you would not. The code is for practice expense only and so it would only be reimbursed if the practice bore the expense. If you look at the CMS RBRVS data base you will see that the facility indicator column indicates an NA for this code meaning it is only applicable in a non-facility setting. The facility will be billing separately for facility services provided during the exam.
